Mouse device drivers

While I was figuring out how to make the free Logitech WiFi touch mouse app for the iPhone work, I noticed that /dev/input lacks any mouse device nodes. Not sure if the kernel retained mouse support, but I did notice as I was poking around various config files that there does seem to be some level of vestigial mouse support.

Incidentally I was able to get the iphone app to connect through to the UbuntuChroot, though due to the missing driver (Xorg.conf entry?) only the keyboard worked. Sort of a geewhiz application, but potentially useful.

I toyed around with

Code:

mknod -m666 /dev/input/mice c 13 63

but really had no clue what I was doing.
